What is the use of Kenacort cream

Mouth ulcers are tiny, uncomfortable sores that can make eating, drinking, and even speaking difficult. They can develop on the inner lips, gums, tongue, palate, or roof of the mouth.

The brain chemicals responsible for pain perception and inflammation are inhibited by Kenacort 0.1%.

As a result, it reduces oral ulcers' pain, irritation, and inflammatory symptoms like swelling and redness.

How does Kenacort cream work

As previously established, the active element in Kenacort 0.1%, a steroid, is Triamcinolone.

It prevents the release of specific chemical messengers that cause swelling, redness, and discomfort in the mouth.

It achieves the purpose of treating mouth ulcers by sticking to the wet surfaces of the mouth and creating a protective covering over the parts that are wounded or have ulcers.

Dosage

It is a prescription-based medicine and should be used only when the doctor recommends it.

It is best to dab or press a small amount of paste into the affected area rather than rubbing it in until a smooth, slick film forms, and the paste adheres.

Apply the cream twice daily to the affected area after meals, before bed, or as your doctor directs.

The treated region shouldn't be covered with a bandage or anything else unless your doctor instructs you to.

Missed Dose

If you have missed a dose of Kenacort cream, apply it as soon as you remember.
